BRITISH DEBT TO U.S.
EQUIVALENT TO ALLIANCE. LONDON, April 25. The feature of the fourth annual report of British War Missions to the United States to-night was the declaration of the United States Ambassador, Colonel Harvey. “Your payments to the United States are the cheapest insurance any country could have. I would like to see Germany or any other Power attack Britain now. Mr Montague Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, presided, and the speakers included Mr Stanley Baldwin, Chancellor of the Exchequer and Major-General Hedlam. Mr Baldwin made an eloquent appeal for the United States’ co-opera-tion to end war. He said that if the two peoples on either side of the Atlantic', bound by a common language and ideals, could not end war, Ire did not know how it could be done.
"We," he said, "are determined so far as it is in us, that wo shall have no war with Europe, and we call on all who speak our language to join hands with us, and see that there is peace among nations."
